TV-5 and The
Saginaw News have picked up Kathy Hoekstra’s discovery that the Saginaw-based
company GlobalWatt is far from on-track to fulfill its job-creation promises
but is instead reselling India-made solar panels on eBay. Earlier this year,
the Mackinac Center raised questions
about apparently false claims on the company’s applications for state subsidies.

David Littmann, senior economist at the Mackinac Center,
will be interviewed on Bloomfield Community Television, according to The
Oakland Press. The segment will air three times in the coming week. The
Press reports, “The show promises to answer many of the pressing questions
seniors have regarding the prediction of interest rates, commodities prices and
where the equity and bond markets are headed.”
